Miscellaneous Searches

A CD is available from our online shop that covers Journals 1 to 30.

The Cornubian Index

This list of Cornish travellers appeared in The Cornubian newspaper. The 1911 – 1916 period has been transcribed and published resulting in a list, in surname order, of over 2000 names of Cornish people who travelled to or from America and stayed en route at Sid Blake’s hotel in New York. Surname, forename, date of travel, where travelling from and to are given.

Cornwall Gazetteer

This is a compilation of addresses and place names throughout Cornwall that are noted in the censuses. It provides an indication of how farm names and hamlet names etc. changed over the decades.

Strays

These are people of Cornish birth who are recorded outside their home county. For example, someone who married in Plymouth would be recorded in a Devon register.

Pestilences and Epidemics in Britain

This is a useful list which might help to explain the disappearance of family members, or even whole families, from records.

Since its beginning in 1976, the society has aimed to become a ‘centre of excellence’ by encouraging Cornish family history research. This is being achieved by publishing a quarterly Journal, co-ordinating the transcription and indexing of over 5 million original records, maintaining a research library in Truro for members and the general public and offering a means of worldwide contact and exchange of information between members.
